Mach

"Quite simply, a monolithic kernel like the one used in Linux or most of the other Open Source Unix clones is inherently two to three times faster for integer calculations than the Mach microkernel presently used in OS X 10.4. That's why the world hasn't embraced xServes, for example, because for simple web or database service they are slower and serve fewer users.

JAX

So JAX-WS is a standard. That reminds me. I'd like to thank the Apache Axis team for making such a nice library. Great stuff.

And I'd like to yell at the top of my lungs at the Axis team and the multitude of other Java Soap, XML-RPC, and XML processing libraries [of which there must be close to 600 million], to please start working together.
